It’s Friiidaaay!!! (the 13th)

Another breezy day although not as windy as yesterday as our strong storm system exits stage east. Winds have shifted out of the NW as colder air continues to spill into Arizona.

Please, for the love of all that is right and good, if you smoke, keep your butts in the car! You know, and other fire safety stuff. Cooler today with the high in the low 70s. That’s nearly 10 degrees below average for this time of year! Enjoy!
